Advances in Global Health - Announcement

Advances in Global Health, launched in 2020 by UC Press in partnership with the UC Global Health Institute, has made significant contributions to the field by publishing cutting-edge research and fostering interdisciplinary dialogue on critical global health challenges. Over the past five years, the journal has provided an open-access platform for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to share innovative solutions addressing health inequities, climate change, infectious diseases, and more. Despite its accomplishments in advancing knowledge and promoting equity in global health, UC Press has decided to discontinue publication of the journal, effective immediately, as part of a strategic shift in its publishing priorities. UCGHI and UC Press remain committed to supporting global health research and collaboration through other initiatives.
